Issue Targets in 2025 CSC's Achievements
GHG Management (Scope 1+2) Reduce carbon emissions by 7% or cumulative reduction of 1.547 million tonnes CO2e.
Note: Based year 2018.
Achieved
Air Pollution
  • 1. Reduce 157.4 tonnes of Particulates.
  • 2. Reduce 803.6 tonnes of SOx.
  • 3. Reduce 11.5 tonnes of NOx.
Note: Accumulated pollutants reduction per year (since 2020).
The target was partially achieved. The particulate matter (PM) reduction target was not fully met due to the delay in the first-phase construction of the coke oven and coke dry quenching (CDQ) facilities. These facilities are expected to commence operation in June 2026.
Water Resource Continue the stable introduction of reclaimed water from Fengshan River (including the alternative of Hefa Industrial Park) and Linhai reclaimed water, and reduce new water consumption by 57.0%.
Note: Based on a water consumption of 130,000 cubic meters per day in 2017 when reclaimed water was yet to be introduced.
Achieved
Energy Management 2015-2025 annual average power saving rate >1.05%. Achieved
Circular Economy and Coproduction between Steel and Petrochemical Plants Select an alternative PSA-CO2 adsorber with CO2/N2 adsorption selectivity greater than 10. Achieved
Resource Circulation Management
  • 1. Waste recycling ratio reaches over 92%, and zero solidification landfill.
  • 2. Recycled by-products reaches 384,000 tonnes.
